Easter Bread about 2/3 dough and one Easter Doll.

Start by getting your eggs colored

· 2 T white vinegar

· Liquid food coloring, your choice of colors I like pink, light greens, light purple, light green-the softer colors of Easter.

· 3 cups boiling water

· 6 raw eggs left in shell.

Another thing you can do, is put the raw eggs in a muffin tin and bake them and you’ll have hard baked eggs, same thing, then pop them in water that doesn’t have to boil. That way you can more easily do multiple colors.

Dough: 

1 1/2 cups of water.

1 cup of milk. Add together and heat up to warm, but not burning hot.

2 packages or one and 3/4 Tablespoons of active dry yeast. 

6 cups of unbleached bread flour. 

2 cups of whole-wheat flour. I prefer stone ground white whole wheat flour.

1/2 cup of butter that is very soft but not melted.

1/3 cup of granulated sugar

1/3 cup of honey. 

1 1/2 Tablespoons of salt. 

2 large eggs 

1 lemon zested, and then add the juice to the mix.

Egg wash and bake for 40 minutes, check to see if done and continue baking until temp reaches 181.   

Happy Easter Baking!

Sheila McCann, the founder of Baking with House of Bread, has spent a lifetime with her hands in flour. This podcast is an extension of that journey, a shared space where the quiet science and profound satisfaction of bread-making come to life. Each episode feels like a conversation in a sunlit kitchen, moving far beyond simple recipes. Sheila delves into the why behind the techniques, discussing the personality of different grains, the magic of a wild sourdough starter, and the small adjustments that turn a good loaf into a great one. You’ll hear the practical sounds of baking-the scrape of a dough scraper, the rustle of parchment, the crackle of a perfectly crusted bake-alongside stories from her own trials and errors at the helm of House of Bread. It’s for anyone who finds rhythm in kneading dough or curiosity in fermentation. The focus is on creating nourishing, flavorful breads that anchor a home, exploring everything from sturdy whole-grain sandwich loaves to intricate festive pastries. Tune in for a thoughtful, hands-on dialogue that celebrates bread not just as food, but as craft, tradition, and a simple, daily joy. This podcast naturally finds its home in the intersection of art and sustenance, inviting you to listen, learn, and bake along.
